Acupuncture for various symptoms caused by medication side effects
Kidney 9
Japanese Name: 築賓
Indications:
Kidney 9 has long been known to be very effective in detoxification and excretes toxins well. This acupuncture point may act on the kidneys to improve diuresis. This may also improve the detoxification of the liver, which in turn may energize the liver’s function.
Toxins include drugs, pesticides, chemicals, toxic metals, radioactive materials, etc. These toxins accumulate in the body and cause various symptoms. They need to be removed because they are difficult excreted out of the body due to accumulation from the use of drugs with strong side effects or current/past long-term use, and they remain in the human body and cause harm.
Recently, many patients are coming to my clinic with symptoms that are considered side effects of drugs and he most common treatment with this acupuncture point may be for symptoms caused by drug side effects. For example, the use of KI9 has a dramatic therapeutic effect on various symptoms (e.g., chronic fatigue syndrome, moon face, etc.) that are rooted in current or past long-term use of steroid drugs.
Skin diseases such as urticaria, drug eruptions, and pruritus also respond well to KI9. Many skin diseases are improved and cured.
